“In a response on Nov. 19, 2021, BYU asserted its religious exemption and outlined relevant religious tenets of the Church of Jesus Christ. In closing the case, OCR recognized that BYU has a religious exemption that applies to this issue,” The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on Tuesday, February 8 said.
Brigham Young University, a college owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was falsely accused by members of the LGBTQ community, for discriminating against their community. Many students at BYU that identify as part of the LGBTQ community are offended that the school upholds the laws of God and not the laws of man. Some students attending the college believe that if they disagree with the policy of the school, they should go to a school that allows that type of behavior.
This complaint was filed in March of 2021, and BYU was not aware of this complaint until October of the same year, when OCR told the college owned by the Church that the case had been opened.
On February 8, 2022, The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, dismissed a Title IX complaint that claimed discrimination against students involved in same-sex relationships.
LGBTQ behavior is wicked and is against the doctrine of Jesus Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will continue to enforce this rule at their schools, and has received religious exemption from the OCR to do so.
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”
